So my main mission at HHS,
in which I hope that you will all join me,
-
is to reverse
the chronic disease epidemic in America.
-
How are we going to do that?
-
It isn't by replacing one paradigm
with another one by force.
-
I'm not going to come in here
and impose my belief over any of yours.
-
Instead, we're going to work together
to launch a new era of radical transparency.
-
Only through radical transparency...
-
can we provide Americans
with genuine informed consent,
-
which is the bedrock
and the foundation stone of democracy.
-
It's no secret that many
of our institutions of democracy,
-
but even of science and medicine,
are no longer transparent.
-
As a consequence, they have become
inefficient, dysfunctional or corrupt.
-
They have fallen captive
to the profit-making industries.
-
They have stagnated in bureaucratic secrecy
and in siloing.
-
They have lost touch with ordinary citizens.
-
But here's the paradox that
a lot of crusaders need to understand.
-
Most of the people who work in these
institutions and agencies and organizations...
-
are competent, ethical, and caring.
And idealistic.
-
I think that's especially true at HHS.
-
Last Thursday,
President Trump signed an executive order...
-
to establish the MAHA Commission...
-
to study what has caused
the precipitous decline...
-
in American health
over the past two generations.
-
So we will convene representatives
of all viewpoints
-
to study the causes
for the drastic rise in chronic disease.
-
Some of the possible factors
we'll investigate were formally taboo...
-
or insufficiently scrutinized.
-
The childhood vaccine schedule,
electromagnetic radiation,
-
glyphosate, other pesticides,
-
ultra-processed foods,
artificial food additives,
-
SSRI and other psychiatric drugs,
-
PFAs, PFOAs, microplastics...
Nothing is going to be off limits.
-
Whatever belief or suspicion
I have expressed in the past,
-
I'm willing to subject them all
to the scrutiny of unbiased science.
-
That is going to be our template:
unbiased science!
